Hi all,

I based in Malaysian but my employer is in Singapore.

Every month my company is direct paying my salary via TT transfer.

Do I need to pay tax?

Malaysian Tax...yes.

don't this consider foreign income ?

Yes.

No, it is not a foreign income.
You are in Malaysia, aka you work in Malaysia, means the income is derived in Malaysia.

as per cherroy said, it doesnt matter who pays you or where they pay you or where you receive the money... what important is where you earn it... do check with your singapore Company, do they deduct your salary for SG income tax? if yes, then you might not need to pay tax or pay less here back in malaysia.

i thought 30k per annum or 2500 per month not going to be taxed..after deduct this and that still i was taxed rm 6.. denggggggg!

How about bonus? Did you include that into 30k per annum?

guys,

anyone here had experienced received a letter from lhdn and need to go to their office to provide all the receipt and proof for the claimed items?

You are the lucky one who being audited. Please get ready with whatever they asked in the letter.

there are some items that i claimed more than i should.. how to get away from this? am i going to jail ?

Pay the penalty and the tax difference.

here the details of my claimed tax, i got about 3k.. do you know how much is the penalty that i'm facing?

Did the letter mention which clause are you being audited?

Worst case: 10x of the tax difference.

That page is useless. Do you remember which item you overclaimed?

I didnt received any bonus last year. Btw i just register today for the income tax number. After filling in the form and got taxed i pay straight. Is it going to be any problem because the due date was way passed? Tq

Today can still file?

Seriously? Their system allows you to do that?

I claimed max for the house (10k), bcoz i never claimed for it in the previous yrs..

Got you!

Majority of the people will be easily got audited for this clause. Some of my friends also got confused between the monthly interest payment and the monthly repayment.

Sorry brother. Please get ready for it.

Yup. Still can. First timer to use the e-filing btw. Morning straight to lhdn ask for pin. Afternoon settle all at office thru e-filling.

I'm kind of surprised. I thought the system has closed for filing since May 2013.
